Events

Teamwork and an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas are the key to successful technological leadership. Therefore we frequently organize symposia and conferences to discuss exciting topics in automotive engineering in close cooperation with our partner, the Institute for Automotive Engineering (ika) of RWTH Aachen University.

FTire User Meeting 2017

The 4th FTire User Meeting at fka in Aachen is the ideal platform for all users and developers to get together and discuss their experiences related to all kinds of FTire applications in the CAE process chain, the implementation in HiL test rigs as well as latest findings from automotive research projects or FTire interfacing with third party simulation environments.

The program this year includes among others lectures from cosin, Volkswagen, Jaguar Land Rover and Hyundai.
